This study underscores the importance of hypoxic burden in the severity of OSA. The parameters T90% and POSA formed predictive model. Additionally, MAD appears to be less effective in the REM-OSA phenotype. Moreover, although patients with an apnea-predominant phenotype responded less favorably, there was a conversion from apneas to hypopneas, reducing severity.
